## What reviewers say

**DJI RS 4** — Rests on a single whitelisted hands-on review: TechRadar's Editor's Choice writeup of the base DJI RS 4 by Damien Demolder (April 2024). He found it very easy to set up and rebalance thanks to Teflon-coated arms, praised the quick plate-swap vertical mode that needs no rebalancing, and liked the longer tilt arm plus Focus Pro motor and camera-control integration. No lab measurements were reported, and the only noted downside is that the Android app isn't on the Google Play Store. With just one source, there is no cross-outlet agreement to confirm or contradict. (1 sourced review.)

**Insta360 Flow 2 Pro** — One whitelisted hands-on review qualified: TechRadar, whose reviewer tested the Flow 2 Pro for a week with an iPhone 13 and calls it the best small folding gimbal for iPhone users thanks to a sturdier, more ergonomic build, comfortable 3-axis stabilization and DockKit tracking across over 200 iOS camera apps. The review is qualitative — no lab benchmarks were published, though it cites up to 10 hours of battery life and power-bank use. (1 sourced review.)
